Commentary
There are 2 double-leaved doors in the screen entrance to the hall added in 1671. A door at the S end of the screens passage is 16th c. but the N porch main entrance is modern (RCHM, <i>Inventory of Historical Monuments: London</i> 4.148--9).

Textual Description
There was an original entrance door from the old court at the low (SE) end, with another opposite on the W side. Both doors were bricked up when the S wall was rebuilt in the early 17th c. 2 doors in the Jacobean screen led to the new screens passage. A 20th c. porch was built on the N side hall.

Hart, Inner Temple Plate 1, p 3

Commentary
One of 2 ornate Elizabethan doors remaining from the original hall. One door was on the S side at the top of stairs from the outside terrace and the other at the top of stairs leading to the NW corner of the hall.

There were 3 entrances to the hall, 2 on the N side with the main entrance on the S side at right angles to the hall.

Commentary
View of the centre service door in the screens passage at the low end of the hall. The 3 service doors originally led to the buttery on the N side and the kitchen.

The door leading into the hall from the screens passage is a later replacement. Another door in the SE corner at the high end led to family chambers.
